It will see 10 of the world's finest gelato makers come to Leicester to celebrate the traditional production of artisan gelato using the best quality ingredients.

They will be making fresh gelato each day, which will be on sale in the Gelato Village cabinet. While many of them will be bringing unique ingredients from their home regions, they will all be using Leicestershire milk, from Belvoir Ridge Creamery, to create their festival flavours.

Gelato Village owners Antonio De Vecchi and Daniele Taverna will host the festival

There will also be a range of talks and demonstrations. You could find out about the history of gelato, from Jo Pistacchio and Andrea Soban, and what caring for bees involves, from The Bee Farmer, David McDowell.

You'll also get the chance to witness 'The Great Flavour Off' between a master baker and a master gelato maker, and an aperitivo demonstration by Charlotte Wood, head bartender at Manhattan 34.
